Hello from SK

[CharleyBrown]

Hello everyone, I just joined the group. This group has been a source of information for me several times, and I’m looking forward to sharing ideas.
Machining has always interested me, and I’ve been learning a bit over the last few months.
I just upgraded my 7x12 lathe to a CX706, and I’m in the process of setting it up.

Welcome from Ottawa, spent the first 40 some years of my life living in Sask.
Like many of us you see the great value in the information here especially starting out.
Enjoy the forums and contribute in whatever way you can.

Welcome to the forum from Lillooet BC.
Nice shiny new toys...... Just give us the word and we'll start our list of must-haves for tooling and accessories...... We're pretty good at making suggestions on how to spend your kids inheritance.....

Welcome to the forum from Regina. Shop looks too clean.

I’m just east of Yorkton.
I do like a clean workshop. I just moved my paint booth out of this corner, so the floor still looks like new.

Welcome from Vancouver! And my guess is you’re a filer not a piler.

 

[DPittman]

Welcome. I think you will really like your new CX706, that's a nice upgrade from a 7x12!
What sort of machining projects do you do?

Until now, all of my projects have been attempts to correct or improve the 7x12 lathe. I’m hopeful that will change now that I have the larger lathe.

Oh, to be so naive and innocent once again....

Welcome from Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Grew up in Saskatoon and spent a year in Yorkton.

Now that you have a bigger lathe(and looks nice btw) you can work on tooling and fixtures to make it more versatile.

Welcome aboard.
Enjoy the ride.
Just ask and members will jump in to help with your CX706

@CharlieBrown ,trust me there's absolutely nothing wrong with runnng a clean shop. That's the way I keep mine and it's a much safer work environment in every aspect. Pay safe!

Welcome aboard. That is a nice machine and workspace.
